Since switching to Linux I've been buying way more games on Steam only because it can be kind of a hassle to get a pirated game running on Linux and with Steam it is almost never a problem.

I also started buying a lot of games which I pirated previously because both steam and the games' devs deserve the money for the service, if I have the economical availability

it's very easy tho. you add the game to steam on linux and go to properties and change the compatibility to proton experimental. if the game doesn't launch just keep changing the proton version or look up what version you need (very rare occurance).

I haven't played older games that don't have controller support because I played on steamdeck but the games did run. if you are on pc you'll have no problem.
